Two contracts have been awarded for the construction of NGS. The contract to build NGS was awarded to Matrix North American Construction, with its Canadian headquarters in Burlington, Ontario. Matrix began activities on site in late February. A second smaller contract was awarded to E.S. Fox, Kingston. E.S. Fox will be responsible for providing water, electrical and sewage connections between the Lennox Generating Station and NGS. This work is now also underway.

While the Napanee Generating Station will be an essential component of Ontario’s future power system, it will also be a catalyst for economic development in the Greater Napanee area. Construction will create jobs and along with the purchase of goods and services will mean approximately 26% or $308 million will be spent in the Napanee, Kinston and Bellville area.

Permanent employment will create a further 24 long-term jobs, resulting in approximately $4 million in annual salaries, while annual spending is expected to contribute another $8.4 million to the local economy. NGS will contribute approximately $1 million annually in local taxes.

TransCanada is committed to facilitating opportunities for residents of the Greater Napanee area for employment, contracting and supplier opportunities created by the development, construction, operation and maintenance of the NGS.

The construction trades positions will be hired as required by TransCanada’s General Contractor through local union halls. In addition to these positions, TransCanada and its General Contractor will be offering a limited number of Management Site positions as outlined below. These positions will be advertised as they become available.

About Napanee Generating Station

The proposed Napanee Generating Station is a 900-megawatt (MW), combined cycle, natural gas-fuelled electricity generating station located in the Town of Greater Napanee, County of Lennox and Addington, in Ontario.

The Napanee Generating Station will be designed as a flexible system resource able to be started and stopped daily and to vary its output to bridge the gap between Ontario’s electricity demand and the other available generating resources.
